a lawyer's belief, stated to the judge, that something is wrong with a question posed by opposing counsel, the way opposing counsel phrases a question, or the way a witness answers it. If the judge thinks the objection is valid, he or she will sustain the objection and tell the witness not to answer or tell the jury to disregard the answer. If there is no basis for the objection, the judge will overrule it and let the questioning continue.

A party or the party's lawyer may object to a question another party or lawyer asks a witness, a witness's answer, an exhibit, or improper argument as not proper under the law.

One-trial/One day (popularly known as "One-day/One-trial") Most state courts have shortened the term of jury service. In most larger courts, the term is now one trial or, for jurors not selected for trial or grand jury, one day. Courts in counties with fewer citizens are also shortening the terms as much as they can but may not be able to adopt one-trial/one-day terms yet because state law limits how often courts may require a citizen to serve as a juror. Many trials are longer than one day.

The act of a party during a trial to call the court's attention to some matter or proceeding that may be improper. Immediately thereafter the judge determines the validity of the objection and either overrules or sustains it.

the period of bankruptcy can be extended by a trustee. When this happens, the trustee lodges an Objection with the Official Receiver at ITSA. Once it is registered on the National Personal Insolvency System, it is an valid objection.
